Control!

Yesterday my group and I had our second session in control tech. This week and last week was basically "preparing" because we mainly focused on naming our slides, folders and setting up our google classroom.

Since coronavirus is still happening, we have arranged seating places so that we are all spread out but we can still talk to each other and see the teacher. One thing I enjoy about this class is that we don't get dirty and we don't have to move a lot.

How I Feel About Lockdown!

Since this is the second lockdown that New Zealand has been through, I'm not really that keen to be staying home. Although its boring one thing that is good about staying home is that we get to stop the spread of covid-19 throughout our community.

Staying home also gives me and my family time to retrace where we've been and to limit the contact between family members and the public. Maybe after this lockdown we will have a less amount of covid-19 cases than the start of it.

Should We Move To Level 2?

The decision to move down a level still hasn't been decided but if we do move we will see a slight change on which shops will be open and closed. Michael Baker has said that our country will still need to stay under level 3 for a few more weeks.

If we do decide to move down to level 2 tomorrow gatherings of 100 or more will still be banned. People will be allowed to move around the country to see family.

The Food Prices Are Rising!

Now that New Zealand is on Coronavirus alert level 4, all non-essential work businesses and shops are closed such as liquor stores, butchers and warehouses. Leaving all supermarkets and dairies open for people to buy their shopping during the lock down.

Many complaints have been sent to Jessica Wilson (Consumer NZ Head Of Research) saying that shops have increased the price of essential products by a lot! To be more specific it's now $8 for bread, $14 for cauliflower and $30 for chicken.

Another major increase is the price for face masks and hand sanitizer. No one should be paying $50 or $60 for it. They'll probably end up decreasing the price when the Coronavirus alert level 4 is done and it's safe for people to come out. 

Other than that stay inside and be safe! Only let your parents go to the shops at a time. 

There's Coronavirus In A Church?

On Sunday a man who had been infected with the Coronavirus had spread it to six people in a Auckland church! This man who had the coronavirus was tested for the disease but his tests weren't back until Friday not when he had received holy communion at his local church.

When he arrived in New Zealand he went to St Mary's church in Papakura and it happens to be the same 60 year old guy who flew in from Iran with the virus. Father Murphy (priest of St Marys) had said that during mass they used hand sanitizer so that they don't spread germs.

He also said that they always turn the cup and wipe it so that mouths don't always go on the same place that other people's mouth had went. 

Make sure to use hand sanitizer and soap to protect yourself from Coronavirus.

COVID - 19 Is Causing Air New Zealand Not To Travel

As you know the popular Coronavirus has been spreading all around the world, first Wuhan, China and then many countries after that. Due to that outbreak Air New Zealand has suspended flights to Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Tokyo, Honolulu, Denpasar, Taipei and London. 

Air New Zealand will also be lowering flight numbers to the Pacific. To reduce the chances of you getting Coronavirus, don't touch people and wash your hands well! 

Coronavirus In NZ!😷

As everyone knows, Coronavirus has been spreading all around the world. Now it has hit New Zealand. What happened was a 60 year-old from Iran flew into our country earlier this week with the virus. The man that came into New Zealand has now been quarantined in Auckland City Hospital.

According to Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield, if the Coronavirus starts spreading from one person to the other, people will die!  They were saying that Australia has only been having a small amount of cases and deaths so it's most likely we should expect that too.

One kiwi had just returned to New Zealand from Italy saying that she's putting herself in self-isolation to prevent others from getting the virus in case they have it.

Symptoms Of Coronavirus:
Fever
After 2 to 7 Days Develop Dry Cough
Mild Breathing Difficulties At The Outset
Gas Issues
Diarrhea
General Body Aches

To protect yourself from Coronavirus I suggest wearing hospital face masks and gloves to stay safe and to prevent you and your family from catching COVID-19!
